Finally the major upgrade to Entropia Platform has regained stability and we are getting close to delivering the Game Experience we want to share with all participants inside the virtual Universe.

We want to show our deepest appreciation for your patience during this more than wobbly week. We will therefore significantly increase both the strength and the chance of getting the automatically triggered Skill Bonus introduced in VU 14.3 during the following two weekends.

The Skill Bonus Buff symbols will be visible in the Dashboard UI, by default in the lower right part of your screen. Hovering over the symbols will show the Type and Strength of the Skill Bonus you will get during the Buff period. The Buff symbols appearance differ by the kind of Skill Buff you have received.

The Imperial Zoological Scouts, citing reduced pheromone measurements, report that the Eomon herd seem to be nearing the end of their migration cycle. Nevertheless, the danger to unarmed colonists remains significant, especially in the regions near Minopolis and Ashi, where there have been unconfirmed reports of not only massive Eomon Patriarchs, but also carnivorous Atrox Queens feeding on the local wildlife.

All robot transport ships have vanished, and no Vanguard have been detected for some time.
Imperial Engineers have calculated that the structure of the Vanguards does not allow for greater mass than that of the Vanguard known as Entropy. The robots assaulted us with their most powerful, but yet again Calypso stood victorious.

The CDF is still looking for the traitor Charles Marvin.

In other news: An ancient race of highly intelligent humanoids on Calypso? Rumors have recently been circling about remnants of an ancient indigenous civilization having been discovered near Fort Troy. The CDF has made a thorough investigation and concluded that the so-called alien civilization is nothing but a Thorifioid settlement. The governor’s office has issued a warning that those spreading and/or perpetuating false rumors can and will be indicted for disturbing the public order.

On a lighter note: the Imperial Exobiology Institute have recently released a statement that Eomon pheromone levels have reached the threshold associated with the start of the annual Eomon migration. Pheromone levels have peaked in the following locations:

Nymphtown

Minopolis

Cape Corinth

Livas

Port Atlantis

Every year around this time, the massive Eomon migrate to their summer grazing grounds.
The Imperial Exobiology Institute has predicted Friday this week as the start of the Eomon hunting season. Note however that Imperial Zoological Scouts have yet to make a confirmed observation of Eomon.

Get your gear, grab some friends, and stay tuned to EBN for all your migration related news!
Migration is upon us.

Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I am your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story: Peace on Calypso.
After months of constant battle against the robot nemesis, it seems the siege may finally be lifted.
CDF Ground Forces Commander, Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza, joins us for an exclusive interview.
Welcome, general. Thank you for joining us.
Let’s get right to the point. General, is the war finally over?”

Yevgeny de Souza: “The robot invasion has been waning ever since the original Feffox escaped. Robot reinforcements have been coming in less and less frequently. It’s only a matter of time before the CDF has cleansed Calypso of the last remaining robot forces. Then, the war will be over.”

Jermaine: “Will it really be over, though? What of the RX? Why did the RX steal the Egg? Were they cooperating with the robots or acting on their own? If they were indeed working together - why did the robots want the Egg? And, as you just mentioned, why did the robots back off when the Egg ha-”

Yevgeny de Souza: “Look - robots invade, we defend. Business as usual. The RX question is a completely separate issue. They WILL be dealt with. We just need some time to recover and regain our strength. At the moment we lack the ability to undertake operations of any scale.
When we have regained that ability, however, our top priority will be to locate and capture the fugitive Charles Marvin. We could handle the robots, or the Feffox, but not at the same time. Charles Marvin bears the ultimate responsibility for turning what would be a standard tin can hunt into what could have been the end of the colony as we know it.
When he’s found, he will be put on trial for treason... and when found guilty, he will suffer perma-death.”

Jermaine: “Oh... Wow. Hrm. Speaking of the Feffox, general - what’s your opinion on the holder of the Green Atrox Egg being given a Feffox DNA by the RDI?”

Yevgeney de Souza: “…
I did not know that.”

Jermaine: “Assurances have of course been given by the RDI that the Feffox DNA has been modified so as to prevent another outbreak like the one we just experienced.”

Yevgeny de Souza: “Yeah. After all that’s happened, I don’t exactly trust scientists anymore. We’ll see how the event unfolds.”

Jermaine “Well, there you have it, folks. Finally, we can breathe a sigh of relief as our colony is safe once again. I’m Jermaine Joha-”

Yevgeny de Souza: “The colony isn’t safe at all! Did you not listen to me? The CDF is but a shadow of its former self. I have suggested to the Governor that while the CDF recovers, the Federal Empire should step in and-”

Jermaine Johansson:
“THANK YOU, General. Like I said... A sigh of relief.
I’m Jermaine Johansson, reporting to you from Exodus... Space... Uh...
What the hell is that?
Get the general back on the line! A BIG FREAKIN’ VANGUARD IS APPROACHING CALY-”

Jermaine Johansson: “We interrupt tonight’s broadcast to bring you news of numerous sightings of huge Feffox-like beasts near Feffox nest sites on Eudoria.
CDF urges all colonists to pick up arms and join the fight to eradicate these colossal beasts.
EBN has tried to reach Xenobiologist Charles Marvin for a comment.”
